people who have read the Game of Thrones books, This show is just so unremittingly violent, and more than that, hopeless. They kill off almost everyone who you even give a damn about, in the most brutal way possible, and I wonder why keep on with it? Is there a point, when you finally get to the end? Or is it just one long relentless blood bath? Because if that's all it is, I think I'm done. Tonight's episode was just horrible, upsetting, and I just would like to know if it ever gets better?

That episode will air here tomorrow (although I won't see it til Thurs because of reasons) so thank you for the heads up! I have been feeling much the same lately; it was what prevented me getting into it the first time I tried to watch. I gave it a second chance and got attached to some characters who were promptly slaughtered one by one and there are now two left and if either of them die I'm out.

I quit reading the books when my 2nd favorite character got killed (well he could be alive he was only significantly woulded at the end of the book). I couldn't take the sad hoplessness of it all. Hubby loves it because he thinks it's more realistic then a happy ending but I like my TV to at least have hope.
